SPS Active

At St Paul’s Shadwell we believe in transforming communities and loving our neighbour. We have partnered with London Borough of Tower Hamlets, The Mercer’s Company, and London Marathon Charitable Trust to bless our community with an outdoor gym on Shadwell Basin. We have been running free classes for our community since 2022 and have exciting classes planned all to way up to 2027!

Rope Fitness Class - Monday 8pm - 9.30pm

The Rope Fitness Class is an intermediate class designed to develop your strength, coordination and mobility, using aerial rope and aerial acrobatics. This is not a drop in class but will take a single cohort through a multiple week training block, building on knowledge gained each week.

Whilst the class will take diffrent abilities into consideration and adapt to suit participants, it is not appropriate for someone that has never exercised or that is coming back from a long break from regular exercise.

A good guide is being able to hang from a bar for 15 - 30 seconds and to lift your knees 5 times whilst hanging.

If you can commit to Monday evenings and would like to join the class please express interest by clicking below, you will be contacted as spaces become available and new cohorts launch.
